Method for controlling a sequence of accesses of a processor to an

Abstract

The method controls the sequence (Q) of accesses (Z) of a processor (MP) to an allocated memory (SP) that is formed by at least two individually addressable, static sub-memories or, respectively, memory banks (SRAM 0, 1). Using a drive logic (ASL) inserted between the processor (MP) and, for example, two sub-memories (SRAM 0, 1), a first memory address (sa1) is switched in conformity with an access cycle to the addressed sub-memory (SRAM 0, 1) in a first access (Z) of a sequence (Q), a memory link address (sfa1) for the further sub-memories (SRAM 0, 1) is formed, is switched thereto and a reading or writing of a data (d) is initiated based on the criterion of the status information (sti). Subsequently, the sub-memories (SRAM 0, 1) are cyclically successively driven, a respective data (d) is read or stored using an intermediate memory (ZSP) and a memory link address (sfa2, 3) is respectively formed such that the two sub-memories (SRAM 0, 1) are successively and cyclically driven. As a result of the method, an especially advantageous memory design for communication systems (KS), particularly for telecommunication private branch exchanges, is realized with static sub-memories (SRAM 0, 1), whereby the memory accesses (Z) of a sequence (Q) of accesses (Z) occur at maximum processor access speed.
